The best days of IISc are yet to come, it is only
100 years old!. - IISc Alumni, March 2013.

Today IISc is standing on hallow academic empires,
here hardly 1% of people can survive on their own and
rest 99% pretend to be in this 1%. - Over
heard at Prakruti, December 2012.

IISc is the only place, where the advisor works
harder than the student. - J. Haritsa, SERC,
IISc (in welcome address to new students, SERC,
2010).

The campus of IISc is an addiction. -
Famous quote among IISc students, 2002.

You thought that getting into IISc is most
difficult, getting out is even more difficult -
N. Balakrishnan, SERC, IISc (in welcome address to
new students, SERC, 2011).

Nothing is good enough in IISc or for IIScians,
because what IISc is best at is offering criticism. -
Over heard in the C-mess of IISc while having lunch,
2003.

You think that Bangalore is lethargic, IISc is ten
times more lethargic. - G.
Mehta,
Ex-Director, IISc (in welcome address to new
students, 2001).

If you think that IISc is going to do something
for you, you are barking at the wrong tree. Only those
people who take advantage of IISc can succeed in here.

Ex-Director, IISc (in welcome address to new
students, 2001).
